The brackets say winner of # vs winner of #, just have to look at the match number of the ongoing match.

Well since it's Sunday funday and spot shot is on my brain.

It was Lefties second attempt. So yeah it's......well 50-50 for Lefty. Wink
Better get the other hand up to speed. 0 for 1 AS Right steps to the plate, the baseball analogy. My all time greatest baseball coaching would be..... uh "When it's the bottom of the 9th. The bases are loaded. The score is tied. There are 2 outs and the count is 3 and 2.......You have to Want to be at the plate."

Shaw and Easton have been doubles partners before, so I doubt there's discomfort on either side with that arrangement. Shaw has definitely looked off this event, both in singles and doubles.

He also beat Shaw and Ralf, if memory serves. He's been fun to watch.

Shannon and Frost(3yrs younger) were late 90's- 2000's players mostly. Frost is one of VERY few people that beat Efren for the cash, did it a few times. When Scott was in high gear no one on earth could fade that onslaught.

I think Shannon was early 90s. He was already a top one pocket player when he was 19. I think he won the 91 or 92 legends of one pocket. When I starting playing one pocket in the mid 90s I had bought a bunch of his accustats from the early 90’s.

The early 2000’s he had started transitioning to becoming a TD.

That would seem incredibly silly. The little spot is called the spot and has been used since the spot was created. why would somebody spot a ball somewhere other than where a spot is that defines the spot?

Where’s the “break spot” if not the foot spot?

So Relief is Topic Oh the Day

Shoot I......
Edit: looked it up and yeah that's it.
a feeling of fear, anxiety, or nervous hesitation about something that is about to happen.

Any cracks, nicks, dents or blemishes? Is it straight? Does it roll straight? Why are you selling?

Well I didn't win the little tournament so it shall be "Shithead ".

Oh cool! I was just recalling my experience er uh attending every presentation when he toured the Seattle area. I enjoyed his exhibition and tried to absorb knowledge.
I heard of him teaching Efren How to play one pocket. I look forward to the video.

In this case, the joking around was spot on. If it had prevented someone from spending $1000 on the cue? It was worth it.

What we need for this event is a list of matches that were on YouTube with links to the videos. Wading through all of the streams is tiring. Is there some way to find particular matches?

Some of the matches are given their own separate video a day or so later. Here's the excellent Tkach-Han match, for example.

madness.

i would guesstimate that half of the quarterfinalists don't even play in the mixed doubles?

they are watering out the concept too, if you ask me. i doubt there's a demand for watching a jack and jill tournament every single PBS stop.

You may be absolutely right that the general pool fandom might not care too much about mixed doubles. But I'm really starting to enjoy those matches.
